Introduction to summer baby recipes: What is good to eat for babies in summer?

In the hot summer, many people will lose their appetite and not like to eat. The same is true for babies. How can babies grow up healthily in summer? Here are some good foods for babies to eat in summer. Summer is the season when babies grow up quickly, so you must take good care of your baby's health.

Summer baby diet needs attention

(1) Increase the amount of food appropriately.

In summer, the temperature is high and the baby's digestive enzyme secretion is low, which can easily cause indigestion or enteritis and other intestinal infectious diseases. It is necessary to increase the amount of food for the baby appropriately to ensure adequate nutrition intake. It is best to eat some light, easy to digest, and less greasy food, such as cucumbers, tomatoes, lettuce, lentils and other foods rich in vitamin C, carotene and inorganic salts. You can use these vegetables to make some cold dishes and add some mashed garlic to the dishes, which is not only cool and delicious, but also helps prevent intestinal infectious diseases.

(2) Various types and patterns.

You should eat more high-quality proteins such as milk, eggs, lean meat, and fish, which are low in fat and light in taste, and are very suitable for babies. There are also soy products such as soy milk and tofu, which contain plant proteins that are most suitable for babies' nutritional absorption. Change the variety of food to increase children's appetite. When cooking, fish should be stewed instead of fried in oil, and you can also use sour and spicy seasonings to open up the flavor.

(3) Give your baby plenty of boiled water.

In addition, boiled water is the best drink for babies in summer. Babies sweat a lot in summer and lose a lot of water in their bodies. Babies have a poorer tolerance to water shortage than adults. If they feel thirsty, the cells in their bodies are actually dehydrated. Severe dehydration can also cause fever. Babies get about 800 ml of water from milk and food, but babies should consume about 1100-1500 ml of water in summer. Therefore, it is very important to give babies more boiled water, which can play a dual role in relieving heat and relieving constipation.

(4) Pay attention to salt supplementation.

When it is hot, people sweat a lot, and a large amount of salt in the body is excreted. Salt deficiency causes osmotic pressure imbalance, affects metabolism, and people are prone to fatigue and anorexia. Therefore, salt intake in summer should be appropriate, not too much or too little, and never ignore it.

(5) Eat less cold drinks and cold food.

Eating too much cold drinks will dilute gastric juice, affect digestion, and stimulate the intestines, causing hyperperistalsis, shortening the time food stays in the small intestine, and affecting children's absorption of nutrients in food. In particular, the gastrointestinal function of young children is not yet fully developed, and the mucosal blood vessels and related organs are not yet adapted to the stimulation of cold drinks. Eating too much cold drinks will cause symptoms such as diarrhea, abdominal pain, sore throat and cough, and even induce tonsillitis.

Introduction of Summer Baby Recipe

Because of the hot summer, the spleen is in a relatively weak state. The spleen plays a very important role in the digestion and absorption of food. Almost all gastrointestinal diseases are accompanied by spleen deficiency. Therefore, to fundamentally solve the baby's loss of appetite and open the baby's appetite, the key is to solve the problem of spleen deficiency.

So, the question is, what should babies eat to strengthen their spleen?

The first step is to give your baby some mild and sweet foods. As the saying goes, sweet taste enters the spleen, in summer, it is best to eat some sweet foods, such as bitter melon. For staple foods, you can choose corn, coix seed, and polished rice; for meat dishes, you can choose chicken, fish, etc.; for vegetables, you can choose yam, onion, chestnut, carrot, potato; for fruits, you can eat grapes, red dates, peaches, apricots, etc.

The second trick is to pay special attention to diet and eat less or no food that is cold in nature, thick and greasy in taste, and other foods that damage the spleen.

Next, I would like to recommend several spleen-strengthening recipes to all mothers.
